I wish more was going on, but alas, more is not. It's that, at least for us, this is a boring time of the year. It's too cold to be doing much exploring outside, and there aren't very many picturesque holidays to document. All will be resolved this month, hopefully, but until then, you have to deal with my boring ramblings. (And truly, I hope you all know that stuff is going on; we're not twiddling thumbs over here all the time. We're just busy with stuff not worth writing about. You know, things like eye doctors that can't seem to get a left-eye prescription correct. Or like how regular clothes don't fit and maternity clothes are too big. You know, those kinds of things.)
What's worse: wearing jeans to work with frayed hems but otherwise pants are in decent condition, or wearing jeans to work that have in-tact hems, but are grass stained?
Given a 12-week ultrasound predicted boy, what's the probability that next week's 18-week ultrasound will also say boy?
As a part-time working mother, I found this post at Feminist Mormon Housewives so interesting. I feel so lucky that I've never received any negative comments about my part-time work from fellow church-women nor from church leaders. Having my job certainly didn't keep me from my current calling. In fact, I'm hoping my job will lead me to my next calling: Ward Statistician! Wouldn't that be awesome!? But really, no one has ever said anything negative to me about it, unless I'm a complete dunce and I missed it.
While it's big news here in D.C., do others know that I, and the other quarter-million federal employees, might be out of work come next Monday or on Monday the 21st? If the House of Representatives and President Obama can't agree on a budget, then the government can and will shut down. This means I will not go to work until they agree. The last time the government shut down was in 1995 and it lasted three weeks. Whoa. Update! The shutdown is on hold for two weeks due to a continuing resolution. We'll have to see come the 21st.
Until the next time I post random meaningless comments (which will probably be Friday), goodbye.
P.S. Does anyone have any suggestions for good pregnant lady DVD workouts?

i like your random meaningless comments.
ReplyDeletei liked frayed hems. much better than "fake hems." :)
boy.
i didn't read the post but i'm glad you've never gotten flack about you working. cuz you shouldn't.
crazy about the government shutting down possibly. weird.
p.s. i found some yoga for pregnant-moms dvd at target when i was pregnant with lucy. i liked doing it. i just tried to find the link to the dvd online, but couldn't find the one. i'll see if i still have it somewhere in the house.
I did a goofy dvd called "Walk Away the Pounds" while pregnant. Really it was goofy--but it kept my blood sugars where they were supposed to be without using insulin--AND i ended up weighing less after giving birth then before i got pregnant in like three weeks...but I was doing it two times a day :) that was a big over share. sorry :) just found your blog and am really enjoying it
ReplyDeleteOh c'mon! Grass stains... just a step below. ;P
ReplyDeleteProbability of a boy... I'll tell ya what *I* think... BOY! But if you're asking me to predict or for probability... NO WAY! I'm SO done with stats!!! :)
Will have to read fMh article soon... too tired now. I say HOORAH to your job and your ability to make decisions for yourself and not be judged by anyone! Well, except the one who CAN judge... I can't say anything Him.
I hope you have a job... because yours is SO good!
Finally. My prenatal yoga video is ridiculous. Exactly what you DON'T want in a yoga video. The cheesy voice, the music, ugh. But I used it anyways. You're welcome to it after that great sell! :D
You reeled me in. Read the article. Liked it. Now on to explaining to my other friend about my differing opinion from yet another fMh post on priesthood for women fast. Sigh. I need to stay away from fMh or I will NEVER get work done or get to bed!
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to tell us you have been called as ward statistician! Ha! And I'm really glad that you haven't had negative comments about working. I think these days most people realize that it a reality for many, many women, and that's ok! For any reason, it can and is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI have some workout videos and she does prenatal videos as well. I really like them. She is really optimistic and positive. Lindsay Brin is her name. I have the post natal boot camp series :) but like I said, I know she has prenatal ones as well! Good luck.
we are on the "will there be a shutdown" watch too. Matt's pretty convinced that come Monday April 11th it really will happen. But thankfully we have are taxes back already so that will be our lifeline. Hopefully they will fund back-pay for closure time. Otherwise we won't get to pay our car off completely this year.
